By Michele Wojciechowski on March 4, 2021
I recently opened the trash can in our kitchen and nearly dropped dead. It wasn’t because it stank (let’s face it, though, it could have). It wasn’t because there was a gross science experiment-looking thing that my husband had found in the back of the fridge and disposed of (although, knowing us, that could have […]

Freaking People Out is as Easy as a Shot in the Ear
By Michele Wojciechowski on February 25, 2021
I’ve found that there are simple things you can say that will immediately get people’s attention. Like, “Hey, I won the lottery.” Or, “Look, they’re giving away free beer.” And, “I got a needle in my eardrum.”

Snow Blind
By Michele Wojciechowski on February 11, 2021
As I write this, it’s the middle of February, and while I long for spring, there’s something else I could really use right now. A big, honking snowstorm. Yeah, I know. We complain about it when it snows. We shovel it. We hoard food when it’s about to happen. And, as I mentioned, we complain […]

By Michele Wojciechowski on February 4, 2021
Normally, I don’t need visuals to go along with my column, but today I do. See that photo that shows what happens when you’re on a cell phone call and another call is coming in through Call Waiting? Yeah, well when that happens, for some reason, my brain shuts down. That might be an exaggeration. […]

Retinal Rage, Part II (Electric Boogaloo)
By Michele Wojciechowski on January 28, 2021
When we last left our intrepid columnist, she had just had her pupils dilated to the size of pie plates and was about to get examined by the retinal specialist, Dr. J. The column ended with her seeing something that she had never seen before. First Dr. J. made me put my chin in that […]

By Michele Wojciechowski on January 21, 2021
Not quite two years ago, I was at a writers’ conference. After I got a shower one morning, I looked into the mirror in the bathroom and was frightened by what I saw.

The Method of My Madness
